In Our Time

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Ernest Hemingway’s In Our Time marks the bold debut of a literary voice that would change American fiction forever. First published in 1925, this groundbreaking collection of short stories and vignettes introduced readers to Hemingway’s signature style—spare, direct, and emotionally resonant—and his enduring themes of war, loss, masculinity, and the human condition. Set against the backdrop of World War I and its aftermath, In Our Time weaves together snapshots of brutality and beauty, of quiet moments and profound upheaval. From the bullfighting rings of Spain to the battlefields of Europe and the quiet streets of Michigan, Hemingway explores the lives of soldiers, expatriates, and everyday men caught in a world that is no longer the same. Among the collection’s standout stories are early appearances of Nick Adams, Hemingway’s recurring protagonist, whose coming-of-age journey reflects the moral disillusionment of a lost generation. Each piece, whether a few lines or several pages, delivers a punch of insight and emotion, capturing the emptiness and intensity of life in the modern world. In Our Time is essential listening for anyone seeking to understand the evolution of American literature and the raw power of Hemingway’s voice. A stunning and influential work, it remains a cornerstone of 20th-century storytelling.
